Spindle's End
by Robin McKinley
Robin McKinley's books are always classic. I enjoyed this spin on Sleeping Beauty a lot, especially how it covers so much time, meaning our main character shifts as the book continues. It did start to feel a little long in the middle. The ending surprised me, I'm still not quite sure if I was pleased by it. Also, maybe I missed something, but I was very surprised about the romance-- for some reason I thought Narl was significantly older than Rosie. I mean, there was definitely a big age gap, because it seems like he was running the smith on his own when she first came to bother him, so he was like 20 and she was 6? So at the end when she's 21, he's 35? It just felt a little weird, and also I didn't really see the appeal or the chemistry between the two characters. He didn't really seem relevant for like 9/10 of the book.
